This is an old road, including two waterpoints, Nwatimhiri and Nhlotini. Both waterpoints are currently inactive, but there are a few pans along the way too! \O

It is named after the adjacent seasonal river!




A good place to "escape" in the crowded South, as not really a connecting road for tourists regarding main camps! :-0

We got these lions at the pan about 5.5km from the S114 and had them for ourselves for almost an hour before the first car arrived. These days I just get JJ's on this road and the speed past me, I only drove this road 3 times during my last December trip because I don't want to see all the JJ's and dust the whole time 0*\

Here's that last pan...actually sometimes other pans nearby, and it does have a name, I think?

One can park really close, depending on how the access roads are closed. It changes every so often! ;-)

A faulty impala! :shock:
